Description

De Vandport, også kaldet Porta Regia eller Coninckxpoort, blev opført i 1624 som en slags ærebue for Filips IV af Spanien, se inskriptionen på vestsiden og som byport, se indskriften på østsiden. Den erstattede den tidligere 'Maeyersgat' for at forbinde Vlasmarkt og var som sådan indbygget på siderne. I 1883-84 i forbindelse med arbejdet ved Scheldekai, blev porten flyttet til det nu dækkede Sint-Jansvliet, hvor den stod helt frit. I 1933, som følge af arbejdet med Scheldetunnelen, blev den endnu en gang demonteret for at blive genopført i 1936 på Gillispladsen. I 1963-64 blev den rengjort. Designet af porten tilskrives - sandsynligvis med rette - P.P. Rubens; navnene på producenterne af det udsmykkede dekoreringsarbejde på porten er kendt fra arkivmateriale: det var Huybrecht van den Eynde (1594-1661 eller 1662) og Hans van Mildert (1585-1638).
